On Saturday, February 25 The Avett Brothers’ Scott Avett will exhibit a series of paintings at The Morrison condominiums in Charlotte, NC’s SouthPark neighborhood. The exhibit, titled The Paintings of Scott Avett: Exploring Story and Spirituality, will be preceded by a private reception and fundraiser on Friday, February 24, at which Avett will discuss how his faith journey and spiritual life inform his art.

Proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit The Educational Center, a Charlotte-based non-profit organization that creates resources and opportunities for people of all ages and faith backgrounds who seek spiritual growth and enrichment. Their work involves the use of narrative and its connection to scholarship, psychology, contemporary culture and the arts.

“To me, art is not simply an expression of one person’s idea, but something that comes to life between the artist and the broader community,” said Avett. “Art helps all of us reach for the truth — in our lives and in our relationships. The Educational Center shares this perspective in its work, and this event will be a chance to keep that conversation going.”

Saturday’s exhibit will be open to the public from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm, with opportunities to purchase original artwork and commemorative posters. Friday’s private reception will include a 45-minute talk and question and answer session with Avett.
